Columbus Tustin Middle School held many activities during Red Ribbon Week. On Monday our theme was "Turn Your Back Against Drugs" - students wore their shirts backwards to show that they are against drugs. On Wednesday our theme was "Work Up An Appetite And Say NO To Drugs" - we had pie eating contests at lunch. Entrants had to wear red to compete. We topped off our week with "Dance Away From Drugs." Students danced to the Macarana and the Cha Cha Slide at lunch. A great time was had by all. COURTESY COLUMBUS TUSTIN SPANISH TEACHER KAREN MINNIE
